Three really good reasons to paint your walls

Move the furniture all around, paint a few walls, and throw a dinner party all in a day kind of challenge.

But with three young kids, running around with foam swords, she had her hands kind of full most days.

So her DIY projects needed to be somewhat easy since she would need to stop to make corn dogs for

lunch, and find a pull-up for a certain child who she is trying to potty train.

She would tape off the area to be painted, pour the paint into the painting tray,

and proceed to trip on a dog and step on two lego’s.

But she made it over to that entry way, and she painted, and stood back.

And LOVED what she saw.

She saw something new, and fresh and lovely.

And it reminded her that she can make her home beautiful, one can of paint, and pull-up

at a time.

And she was hooked, forever in love with painting.

Because it wasn’t as hard as people said it was, and she realized she had fun doing it.

Reason #1 (out of my 3 good reasons to paint your home now) It’s not hard to paint your home.

And she turned into the girl who could paint, and stand back, and love the change she made.

Because change is good, and corn dogs only take two minutes to make anyways.

Yeah, the she is me. My name is Tanya and I love to paint.
We have been in a rental home while we search and save for our dream casa.
The wonderful folks we lease from have given me the ok to paint, and while I
have not painted every square inch, I have begun to paint more and more.
And it makes me so happy every time I walk by my “new” wall or room.

That is reason #2 Painting your home breathes new life into your space, you see it in a whole new way

To fully appreciate the after, you have to see the before.

Forgive me for the photo quality, the before is with my cell phone.

But we don’t really care that much about the before anyways.

We are all about the awesome after!

I had the opportunity recently to use Glidden® paint for this project.

Glidden paint has a simplified palette, which makes it easier to find the right colors

for you to get home & get your paint on.

This one was all about bringing some much needed life into a sea of white

that stretches two stories high.

I have not been able to decide how to attack this area and make it pop.

I ended up using a Glidden fan of paints that The Home Depot had in the paint department. I was looking for a clean, not blue or brown, charcoal and I ended up choosing this one. I have the deets I can send you if you like too. I love this paint, the best I have ever used!!

omg Tanya, your post made me chuckle….that was such a funny post. I love the contrast of color. Lately I’ve been loving the black and white accents, which makes me want to paint soooo bad. I have never painted walls before in the past. BUT I am planning my very first painting project next month. My husband will be out of town for 2 weeks and I am going to tackle our dining room with nobody around to tell me how to do it better!!!! LOL……I actually just blogged about my dining room plans. Would love for you to check it out and tell me what you think http://littlebrags.blogspot.com/2014/06/dining-room-design-board.html
And if you get the over-whelming urge to paint again (since you are a painting pro now) you can come visit me in Olympia and show me how to do it like the Professionals????
